Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I support this petition, it is true that people in this country have suffered. There are some animals that are more predominant in some areas.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am very much aware of the said road; indeed, it is narrow. But in the last one year we have tried to expand the roads by making sure that the shoulders are quite useful in case of meeting the tractors on the road. As I said, this road is at the design stage.
